[url]http://www.cranepoolforum.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=326813#p326813 [quote="metsguyinmichigan"]On the bright side, Johan can start the game and applause can fall on him like soft rain, and Klap called for with Rivera in 2008. Klap is prepared to prove you wrong three years down the line. This Tuesday, the Mets get their chance to play the part of the Yankees and host the All-Star Game in New York City. It is the Midsummer Classic, and we know the word classic (much as with its root word "class") connotes Yankees and nothing else. Citi Field can only hope to distantly approach the majesty of Yankee Stadium in its final go-round in 2008. We know the Mets' humble boutique ballpark cannot match, let alone surpass it. But there is one aspect of the All-Star Game through which Citi Field can make an indelible imprint on the sport the way the original cathedral in the Bronx did five Julys ago when Yankee Stadium graced baseball by simply being Yankee Stadium: Have Mariano Rivera start for both teams. We all know, World Series hosting rights notwithstanding, that the All-Star Game remains an exhibition. What better talent to exhibit than Mariano Rivera's? What better New York treasure to put on display for a national and international viewing audience? What better idenity to give an All-Star game hosted by the Mets than that of a Yankee legend? Nothing instantly says New York City All-Star Game better than Mariano Rivera. He is, at once, a municipal and planetary treasure. This unprecedented gesture, to hand him the ball in the top of the first and then again in the bottom of the first will testify to baseball's awareness of his -- and the Yankees' -- status above the pantheon of athletic competition. The Mets must do the right thing and withdraw their representative from the National League team to make room for the Great Rivera on the Senior Circuit roster. It would be unworthy of a team that plays so close to Yankee Stadium to do otherwise. The long-range weather forecast is still uncertain for Tuesday night. MLB crosses its fingers for clear skies. But should baseball do the right thing and declare its all-world reliever who is still going strong at 43 starting pitcher for both the American and National leagues, the clearest element in the Citi Field atmosphere will be the presence of soft rain...and not just from the heavens giving their tearful approval to this most appropriate decision.

Yeah, right. Like he'd be able to tag a wall quickly enough not to get caught...."

That's just for major leaguers. They still have about $40 million that they can spend for Buffalo.

[quote="MFS62"][quote="TransMonk"][quote="metirish"]Ok, that was sick from Shaun White .

I'm still kind of appalled that snowboarding is an Olympic sport.

Kathy Lee Gifford said (on her TV show) that she and husband Frank (the ex-footballer and longtime TV sportscaster) were watching the snowboarding. He asked "What the heck is that?
I suspect Frank looks at a microwave oven and asks, "What the heck is that?", so he might not be the best gauge here.

The Mets should definitely wear their snow whites whenever Fernando Nieve pitches to Henry Blanco.

"Too gay for figure skating" is akin to "too injured to be a Met."

[quote="themetfairy"]Mother of six? Wow - she looks incredible!

That's because Rod actually birthed the kids.

Look at the photos, it's obvious.

28. G-Fafif's faux news story is classic. And thanks LWFS - this is the first time I've seen my name in the voting. I feel like a Best Supporting Actress nominee who knows that she'll never win the Oscar but is happy to be able to dress up and go to all of the cool parties :)
